Firstly, Daily Squeeze is inviting, facing north to soak up the sun. With counter and bench seats crafted from the recycled Old Tweed River Wharf, the café emanates the warm glow of timber and white-washed brick, offset with jars of preserves giving it a ‘Country Life’- style feel; welcoming, light-filled and comfy.

The café’s cheeky slogan ‘Get fresh at your local’, talks health-conscious heaven without going over the top. It’s simple, honest to goodness real food that loves you back; the best of fresh, local and organic at ‘local’ prices.

There’s a great attitude to food at Daily Squeeze: it’s for everyone, anytime, so menus run all-day long. Food preferences and intolerances are catered for with symbols, and meals can be tweeked to order.

As a scratch baker, owner Cheryl Bench’s food philosophy is simple: “If your grandmother can’t understand the label, don’t have it!” Fresh juices, fresh food is the name of the game.

Cheryl shares with us her recipe for delicious muffins that everyone can eat:
